Sections of railways are secured to the wheels in suoh a manner that, as they revolve, section after leetion ifl brought nnder tbe wheels and held firm for a certain period, laying and tak ing up a continuous, track for the wheels, at the carriage moves along. The section rails are broad tram plates with upturned flanges oonneated to tbe felloes of the wheels by pins working in ourved slots; and there are a few teeth on the face of the wheels, and suitable notches in the inner surface of the rails, so that as the former revolve, the teeth take into the notohes of the rails at proper intervals, and thus shift and hold them undor the wheels with perfect regularity. E9 When railways were in thoir infancy in England, it was supposed that they would injure the eatatcs through which or near which they ran, and the English Cabinet Minister, Mr. Labouohare's father, received the compen sation of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for an imaginary detriment of this sort. After his death, his son, finding that thorewas no injury to the estate from the vicinity of the railway, but the contrary, refunded the one hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

He was so badly injured that he died soon afterward, fully exonerating Mr. Pearson from blame. j . pS" Those, if any such there be, who re gard chills and fever as "catching," had better keep away from St. Louis and vicinity at present.

US' The aurora of tho 28th ult. was soon as far south as Galveston, Texas, where it was visible at 8 o'clock in the evening. It lasted about fifteen minutes.

A Leavenworth correspondent of the New York Times says: ,', Tho last subjeot of discussion here is a oon traot given to a Virginian, named Gilispie, for four hundredcavalry horses, at one hundred and seventy-five dollars apiece. Tbe lucky recipient of this j oo sold out to a St. Louis dealer at a profit of fourteen thousand dollars that is, the aotnal horse-dealer filled the contract at one hundred and forty dollars ahorse. But this was not the whole loss to tbe Government the horses were not wanted; certainly not at this season. Two hundred and flvo of the animals, however, were sent to Fort Smith, and the bslanoe, one hundred and ninety-fire, to this tost, and an offloer was gent on to inspect and redely .them, and turn , them over . to the Quarter-master. CORRESPONDENCE. Inauguration Ceremonies at Antioch College. [Special Correspondence of the Penny Press.] YELLOW SPRINGS, O., Sept. 9, 1859. Editors Penht Phhss : On yesterday (Thursday) evening the inauguration of Rev.

Presidont Hill entered ; leaning on - the arm ot Dr. Bellows. lie is a man ot about forty-five years, with light, Saxon oomplexion and hair; deep blue eyes, full of light. Ho is a little over five feet in hi? lit, and rather stout than otherwise. Al though his neat dress gives him an air of greater respectability, fie looks like Horace Greeley, with less stoop and moro hair. Our only memory ot President inn lias Deen hitherto an incident which occurred in 1854. It was at a Couforonce of New England Uni tarians, and some very eminent uivino was giving an address, in which ha repeatedly used the word "females." At last Mr. Hill jumped up as ono who could stand it no longer: "Mr. Chairman, I beg tho gontle- muu s pardon, but will he not have the char ity to say women. 'Female' is a physical characteristic, signifying box." IIo quietly sat down amid many gruttlied bearers. Alter the exercises ot yesterday ovening, which wero very croditablo and impressive, Mr. Hill gave us bis address, and convinced us that if he did not have, as tho papers said, a copious stream of eloquonce, he had a copious stream of good senBO. If ever thoro was an address wnicn bore witn it tne grace of modesty and simplicity, and tho strength of granite, it was this. He is a powerful man, a thinker and a Hnowor. ms inaugural gave a sketch of a complete education, which ho made to consist of 1, tho training of the tenses; 2, that of tho intollect; 3, of the feelings; 4, of the will. Prof. Leootnpto's geneialization is 1, science; 2,urt; 3,roligion This inaugural will, I make no doubt, be given to the public; it is too good to be re ported. Mr. Hill has been minister of a compara-t'-oly Bmall society in Waltham for fourteen years, and has refused many flattering induce ments to leave them. He spoke with great ieeling of the severity ot leaving them, lie will for a while return to close up, gradually; his relations and engagements with thorn, ere coming here to roside permanently, though he will stay until no sees his way dear. Mr. Hill evinced great judgment by making it his condition of acceptance, that the salaries of all the itaoutty should be guarantood. Ibis the Trustees of the College formally agreed to do, on their own responsibility. It will, of eourse. not fall upon th.tn, for already students are pouring into Antioch, which, burn as it was of a want, must be self-sustaining ; but it shows how deep in all concerned is the love of this college. Tho only other items worthy of being men tioned are, that Mr. Albert 1 earing, ot Boston, of the Board of Trustees, resigned, in order that Presulont Hill might take his place; and Mr. P. A. Palmer, of New York, was elected to the Board in President Mann's plaoe. Illinois State Fair. FREEPORT, ILL., Sept. 8, 1859. Yesterday was a day of crowds. The people came in by tens, hundreds and thousands, The receipts warrant the conclusion that there were ntteen tboueana people on tne grounus Pour thousand six hundred dollars wore re ceived for tickets alono, and on tbe day pre vious about three thousand, making the whole receipts for two days gonernlly tho least at tractive to a sum near eight thousand dollars. To-day, with favorable weather, the reooipts would have been larger than yesterday, but there are signs of rain, which will damage the attendance. As a pecuniary success it is now evident that this Pair will stand upon an equal footing with any preceding one, in the faoe of the United States Fair at Chicago, which it is eonfessed is somewhat a damper upon this ex hibition. Sinoe my last, contrary to all expectation, the departments have been filled up. All tbe cattle stalls ere full. Floral Hall is beauti fully decorated and filled with fruit and flow ers; while the other departments have made a deoided increase in their attractions. The first editorial convention of the State was held here yoBterday. Long John Went worth, of Chicago, inado a glorious speech, in which he gave somo wholesome advice to the craft. Ho advised them to cease taking care of politicians and other people, and starving themselves and families. Ho did a little self-glorification in illustrating his po sition by setting himself out as an example. He is one of the wealthiest men in Chicago. Mr. Blaisdell, of Rockford, niado a capital speech, in which be argued a higher standard of excellence in the profession. Mr. Bond, of the Mendota Obtener, argued tho action of the coiiT ention in demanding of the State Legislature increased attention to the ques tion of legal publications, and particularly in regard to tho publication of tho laws. The farmers had a glorious meeting last night under an immense canvass. They discussed with singular intelligence the vari ous modes of plowing aud under-draining. They all agreed as to the advantage of sub soil plowing, as thoy did of under-draining, but the experience in tho latter as yet is rather limited. Fow premiums have been awarded to-day, to-morrow being set apart for that busi J. R. S. B. [Special Correspondence of the Penny Press.] [Special Correspondence of the Penny Press.] FREEPORT, Friday Evening, Sept. 8, 1859. It is estimated that there were nonr twenty thousand people on tho ground to-day. receipts were over three thousand dollars, making the whole amount reaching $12,000; $2,000 greater than the Centralia Fair of 1853 Xbe thorough-bred bulls were In the ring this morning, and the following first premiums were awarded: Durham four-year old Knick erbocker, entered by Chamberlain, of Obio; three-year-old King Alfred, imported; two-year-old Gold Finder, J. C. Bour, Sangamon; yearling Henry Clay Second, Turner, Boone County; bull calves, Emperor, J. N. Brown, Sangamon; Devon three-year-old, Blucher, Perriam, Cook County; Devon two-year-old, King, Kane County; Devon yearlings, Chibl anus, Wentworth, Cook County; bull calves, Ben. Franklin, Gittano, Stephenson County. This afternoon the thorough-bred horses were brought Into the ring. The display was good, though not large or equal to some pre ceding Fairs. The first premiums were awarded to Prince, a splendid horse, four years old, sorrel, entered by Ruble, of Beloit, Wis consin; Sacramento, a three-year-old, belonging to Hessler, of Georgetown; Lsdy Viotoria, a four- ear-old mare of Ruble, of Beloit. la thit evening some ladies, mounted on geod horses, came into the ring with their eioorts, and gave some bold acts in horsewomantblp. They did not hesitate to let out their horses to their fullest speed, whioh elicited the wildest shouts of applause on tbe part of tho admiring orowd. On the whole, the Fair of 1859 has been a good one in many retpeots. The people have enjoyed it; the weather has been propitious; the show has been rospeotBbls, and tbe receipts have been better than anticipated. J. R. S. B. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. REPORTED FOR THE PENNY PRESS. NOON DISPATCHES. Washington Correspondence. New York, September 10. The JIruld't Washington correspondent says: General Harnoy sent troops to San Juan to protect tbe white settlers from the savages, who wore committing most atrocious mur-. dcrs. Nothing inimical to tho British Gov-1 eminent was intended by such movement. The j calousy of Gov. Douglass was needlessly excited. No collision with tho British troops or sub jects is apprehended by the Government. The President was Secretary of State when the boundary treaty was negotiated under President Polk, and is perfectly familiar with all the circumstances attending it. Ho and Robert J. Walkor were the only mem bers of Mr. Polk's Cabinet who opposed tho 49th parallel as the boundary. They adhere to 64 degress and 40 minutes at our just limits. No doubt need be enter tained that the title to San Juan will be am icably adjusted, as the President must be perfectly aware of our rights, aud will ask nothing more. Tbe long connection of Govornor Douglass with tho Hudson Bay Company doubtless caused him to view all the country in that vicin ity as under tbe jurisdiction and protection of the British GovernmeDt,at least, if not actually tns property ot tbe sompany,aod his interosts may havo rendered him excitablo in tamper and precipitate in action. The Cabinet was in sees ion to-day on the whole subject, and the tenor of tbe instruction to General Harney, as stated yesterday, will be of tbe most temperate and conciliatory ohar aoter. , Messrs. Morris, of New York, Browloy of Wisconsin, and Browley, of Pennsylvania, have the pork contract for the navy, at $14 U5. Tbe Republicans assert to-dny that one G. Donnollan, a clork in the Land OlSce, has been flooding Iowa with circulars, dated . Iowa Democratic . Club-rooms, Washington, and speeches by Land Commissioner Hendricks, under tbe frank of Senator Bright, who has been absent four months. Oovornor Floyd is expectod to return to his post about tho 15th inst. His health is greatly improved. The President has not yet accepted the rosig nation of Hon. T. A. Hendricks, as Commis sioner of the General Land Office, but holds the mattor nnder advisoment. . Hon. A. B. Greenwood, Commissioner of In dian Affairs, will start on Sunday next on i visit to the Indian tribes of the West, with a view of observing personally tho operation of our presont Indian system before preparing his annual report. The balance in (he Treasury of the Unitod. States on the 6th inst, was $1,344,210, being an increase of $029,410 75 on tho balance shown by tbe previous weekly statement. Advices reoeivod by the General Land Office announce tho completion, on the 4th ult., of the survey of the western boundary of Minnesota, and the placing of tho oornor-stone at tho inter section of the northern and western boundaries of that State. The timct't Washington dispatch says: Much annoyance is felt here, both by the EngliBh Legation and tho Secretary of Btate, at the recent news from San Juan. The re lations of the two Governments having be come moBt cordial and friendly, it is hoped the good sonso of both powers may prevent any serious mischief in the promises. It is understood that Mr. Wycko, the new British Minister, takes out to Central Amer ica positive instructions 10 propose a treaty, which, if the Central Americans refuse to accept, they will be held responsible by all the world for prolonging nn unnatural state of things between themselves on the one hand, and England and America on the other. Tho only wish of tho British Govern ment, and a wish most anxiously felt, is to come to a final understanding with tho United States about Central American affairs. Aerial Voyage to Europe. New York, September 1 0. An aorial ship, called the City of New York, intended for a tians-Atlantio voyage, has beon in the oourse of construction for some months past, in tho vicinity of this city, and is now so nearly com pleted that she. will be ready to undertake the tnp in Uotobor. I be aeronaut who has ehargo oS the enterprise is Mr. Lowo, of New Hamp shire, who has made soveral successful ascen sions. The dimensions of the ship an greator ttan those of any balloon previously built. T;e capacity of tho gas-receiver is seven bun dled and twenty-five thousand cubic foet; the aggregate hight of the balloon from the vUve to tho bottom of the boat is upward of three hundred foot, and the diameter one hun drtd and thirty feet. Mr. Lowe proposes to go direotly from Now Yrk to London in from forty-eight to sixty fotr hours. Dropping below the basket is a mrtallio life-boat, in which is plocod an Erics sol engine. Its partioular purpose is tho con tro of apropoller, riggod npon the prinoiplo of tbsscrew, by which it is proposod to obtain a regulating power. The application of the me ohmioal power is ingeniously devised. The pnpeller is fixed in the bow of the life-boat, prtjeoting at an angle of about forty-five de grees. From a wheol at the extremity twenty tans radiate; eooa ot those tans is live feot ,n lentth, widening gradually from the polr.tof conlaot with the sorew to the extremity, Qere thokvidthof each is one and ono-half (tsf Nr. Lowe claims that by thoappli cation thelo mechanical contrivances, hfiS air-ship canjbe readily raised or lowered, 'l0' 8eej dip. ferept currents of air; that tb.0y will give hini ample steerago-way, and that they will present tho rotary motion o' the machine.
